The main feature of the G Flex 2 that makes it stand out from the crowd is, by far, the curved design. The entire body of the G Flex 2 is concavely curved, including the display and the battery inside. Combined with the smaller display size (5.5” down from 6.0”), the G Flex 2 is a more portable, more easy to handle, and more standard-sized flagship than its predecessor.

This brings me to the price. At $780 it’s nearly double that of the LG G3, which retails for a touch under $400 these days. With the only real advantage being performance, the extra $380 just doesn’t seem worth it.

LG has a very interesting idea of what a good flagship smartphone should be. The G2 and later the G3 had unorthodox button placement on the rear panel, but with a bit of practice this was hardly an issue. The G Flex was even more unorthodox with a...

The LG G Flex has only two minor problems. The price is an issue. This is a high-end phone, but because it has something of an unproven track record it's going to be a tough sell to new customers. Additionally, the occasional glitches in the performance...

It's good to see LG have another pop at the curved phone and on the whole we're impressed with the G Flex 2 and since it's been around for a while the price is something of a bargain. The curve is by no means necessary but it does feel and look good and improvements include the higher screen resolution and slimmed down body.

Once I get past the look of their UI, the software is great. In fact, I didn't seem to have any memory leak issues or major bugs many others have faced when dealing with Android 5.. Further, the ability to customize a lot of the little aspects of the...

Battery life is one of the biggest factors in most people's buying decisions, and at the end of the day the G Flex 2's battery just doesn't last as long as it needs to. There's also the issue of performance which, though vastly improved from the time...

In review: LG G Flex 2. Review sample courtesy of LG Germany. Buyers have to pony up quite a bit for the uniqueness of LG's G Flex 2. That was already one of the biggest criticisms made on the precursor, and our present review sample also clearly lags...

The G Flex 2's curve still isn't a game-changer, but it's a subtle tweak that gives the phone a distinctive allure. However, the excellent LG G3 offers more stable performance and a better screen at about the same full price ($600), and the G4 is weeks away from launch.

This is a cool little phone with a unique design. If you want something more pocketable than the LG G4, the G Flex 2 is a great phone. Be sure to join the conversation with other G Flex 2 users over at Android Forums.*The G Flex 2 used in this review...

Curved shapes are evocative, attractive, tactile, and sometimes even sensual. The G Flex2 is LG's second curved phone, and while the original stood out visually, it didn't make our knees go all wobbly when it came to processing power. On paper, the G...

The LG G Flex 2 has made some significant improvements to the original, with a beefed up processor and greatly improved screen. It's a little smaller overall, as is the battery, but with more sensible pricing this is now looking like a genuine...
